Beyond Scared Straight - S 1 E5 "San Quentin" Part 1

BEYOND SCARED STRAIGHT"%u2122 produced by Arnold Shapiro, profiles the new approach to keeping today's teens from becoming tomorrow's prisoners. The power of the original Scared Straight! program has inspired dozens of inmate-run intervention programs in men's and women's prisons across the country. And in many dramatic ways, these 21st Century programs are very different, because today's youth need a different approach -- a combination of confrontation, information and communication to try to reach these at-risk kids. These youthful offender programs put boys and girls of all ethnicities, ranging in age from 11-18, into intensive one-day in-prison sessions that show them the realities of life behind bars.
